Mellow Yellow Monday-Narcissus

Due to the hot weather in Singapore, narcissus plants are difficult to bloom and few people will keep this plants at home. But we always can buy this beautiful flowering plants from any local florist during Chinese New Year period. They were planted in a container with water, flowers will be blooming and last for about one week time. It is very pretty flowers with fragrance. We often see this type of white narcissus flowers with center yellow which are imported from China, another type of potted yellow narcissus with soil are imported from Holland. The photos were taken during last year Chinese New Year period. Hope you like this beautiful flowers, and for more cheerful yellow flowers, visit Mellow Yellow Monday, a wonderful meme especially if you love yellow. Thanks to the Author Drowsey Monkey for hosting this beautiful meme.

Your post made my heart skip a beat with hope when I saw the title. If it'll grow in S'pore, surely it'll grow in Mumbai, I thought. Oh well, its good to see it on your blog at least until they come up with a heat-tolerant variety ;)

I just thought of another story. You guys in Singapore think of many things.

One of my cleaners Ah L. when I first arrived in Singapore, she likes to grow these bulbs during Chinese New year. It is supposedly: It will grow very well if your luck is good, and vice versa. Every year she grows these bulbs in water, the bulds don't grow.

Me, a Christian originally from sarawak have never heard this. I ask her, why you bother to grow when you know it won't grow. My friend K. always is successful. My cleaner Ah L. says," of course, you people are professor's wives, I am just a cleaner."

I don't grow them either, in case my bulbs don't grow. I must ask my friends what they are called.
